Having lost my hair from chemotherapy, it had only grown in a few inches and I was hoping she could help me so I would feel like I was back to normal. She painstakingly worked with what I had on my head for more than six hours and when she was done it looked like I had the beautiful hair from before my cancer. It was better for me than a wig because it feels like it's mine... I continue to go back every few months and each time it gets better. Love Mila, love her talent and love the results!

When I moved to OC in 2001 I struggled to find someone not too far to do my hair but finally did. After several happy years with the same stylist she ended up moving out of state. Since then I've had multiple stylists but none that I connect with that did my hair EXACTLY they way I wanted--until now!!! I'm so grateful I found Alma Rose Salon! Donia was on time for our appointment and I was given 100% of her attention because she doesn't double book. My braids were nice and tight and hair sewn in perfectly without it coming unsewn or with weird knots hanging for my comb to get stuck in. She was able to sew my wefts in without cutting them, at my request, and they still lay flat. Her vibe is extremely personable, fun and friendly, and very easy to chat with for a couple hours. Her fees are perfectly competitive for the area and her salon is less than 10 min from my home. I hope she never leaves because I will remain a forever client!

BLACK CURLS IN OC HAVE A SAFE PLACE!! Michelle is so amazing at what she does, she has helped my…read morecurl pattern recover DRAMATICALLY after years of incorrect haircuts! Michelle not only recognizes my various curl types, but cuts each accordingly, layer by layer! When I first came to see Michelle for her customized curly experience, I was so nervous! Curly cuts don't come cheap!!! And admittedly, I wasn't totally convinced that a white woman in South OC could deliver...but after years of bad haircuts, I was recovering from layers cut incorrectly, and decided it was time to commit to fixing it with a curly cut. Michelle genuinely blew me away with her work and I could SEE it was worth it! By taking the time to notice the different curl patterns throughout my hair, cutting with a purpose of fixing the damage, and hand curling each of my tired layers, I finally got a haircut that left me with an authentic BIG smile! From that moment it was decided, and everyone has seen the change in my hair since! My hair is so much happier and healthier now that I've been seeing Michelle for the past 11 months! I admittedly don't even go on a consistent schedule, just when I feel when things need a trim, but the difference is OBVIOUS. My hope for any OC parents of kids with curls ESPECIALLY biracial kids whose hair you're still learning--come to Michelle!! Michelle knows type 3 and type 4 hair and does justice for my various type 3 curls, making me so happy every time I come to see her. Y'all she knows what she is DOING!!

TLDR: Michelle is incredible! She is the best thing that happened to my curls in decades! With her…read morecut and techniques I consistently still have amazing curls from day 1 to day 5 (and that once included a day at an amusement park with rollercoasters on day 4)! I will definitely be going back and I cannot recommend her enough for anyone with curls whether you are new to being a curly girl or a longterm curly veteran! I guarantee you will learn something from her! Longer version: I've followed various curly girl methods for over 20 years and have been getting curly hair cuts for just as long. If there is a wash/style/refresh method of doing hair or a curly product I have probably tried it at some point. That said, new things come out and I love learning so every few years I'll try a different stylist just to see if they teach me new techniques I don't know. Michelle blew me away! Not only did she give me a phenomenal hair cut with great layers but she showed me her techniques and products. I had been introduced to Innersense before and wasn't really blown away but Michelle did a great job explaining the products and why they are cleaner/easier to use with less heavy oils than some other curly products. In the past, I have gotten good curl definition but usually have pretty significant frizz by day 3-4 but with Michelle's methods I have almost no frizz or halo at day 5, despite still having decent volume and amazing definition. Not only that but I had to do a wash/style day during a work trip and only needed half the amount of product I previously used which is HUGE for me since I almost always travel with only carry-ons. The products really are cleaner/easier to use than anything I have tried. I have also always struggled with refreshing my curls between wash days, but she went over her technique with me and I am now able to refresh my hair easily without it coming out stringy/greasy or wet enough that I felt like I should just do another wash day. Plus she pointed out a line of damage from where I was always ponytails/pinappling my curls and so now I am being more intentional about changing up my implements for putting my hair up. Her attention to detail is phenomenal, and I love that she still attends continuous education to constantly improve herself. She is definitely my new stylist for the foreseeable future and I am so incredibly glad I decided to try her!

I didn't just get a haircut; I had an amazing experience and received the utmost care and attention that anyone wants when stepping into a salon. Not only did my hair get a 2.0 upgrade, but she also provided me with invaluable information through detailed demos and product application education, video tutorials, and custom notes/portfolio for my hair. What impressed me most was that Cindy didn't just level up her knowledge and skills--she elevated the entire client experience. The salon is immaculate, with a stylish yet comfortable and welcoming vibe. Cindy and everyone at the salon "gel" so well together, creating a warm and fun atmosphere. Even though I hadn't seen her in 10 years, it was like I had come back home, and she was able to work her magic on my hair as if I had been her regular client for all these years because she knew exactly what to do. She literally brought my curls back to life, and I'm super grateful to her and for her. She is professional and treats you with the utmost respect and dignity-even if you come in with a hot mess on your head. She keeps it real and gives you her expert opinion because she truly cares and absolutely knows what she is talking about. If you're looking for someone who will truly understand your hair, give it the highest level of care, and help you love it, Cindy is your person! She is amazing and a rarity! You NEED to go see her.

If you or your child have ever struggled to navigate natural curls, you know it's about so much…read moremore than just a haircut--it's about confidence. We first saw Deanna for my daughter's very first curl appointment, and I was floored by the experience. Deanna spent about four hours with her. She didn't just cut her hair; she walked her through every single step of the process, from product application to styling techniques. She even put together a folder of instructions and a video to follow, along with a list of the specific products, brushes, and hair wraps my daughter could use to maintain her routine. We recently went back for a second cut, and Deanna was just as intentional, taking the time to answer every question and offering new tips to refine the look. To put this in perspective: I took my older daughter to a different stylist at a different business who charged the exact same price, but the appointment wasn't even an hour long. It was a quick in and out with zero guidance and left us feeling incredibly disappointed. The difference in care is night and day. My daughter has gone from being unsure of her hair to absolutely loving her curls and her daily routine. It's clear that Deanna isn't just looking to fill a chair; she genuinely wants her clients to be happy and feel empowered to manage their hair at home. After seeing these results, my older daughter is already looking forward to her first appointment with Deanna. If you want someone who is patient, thorough, and a true master of their craft, Deanna is the one! She's a gem!
